TOPIC: booting as quickly as possible

Some of you may know that the latest ubuntu version (karmic koala) has a new feature called upstart. I haven't tried it but is seems that it would take less then 20 or 30 seconds to boot to the desktop. My question is if toorox has something similar ?

Strange, but I have different results depending on the partition. Toorox is on /dev/sda3, Windows on /dev/sda1:

/dev/sda1 is stored on the outer tracks and /dev/sda3 is stored more to the inner tracks of your hard disk platter. The platter rotates at a constant speed - so the outer area of the platter is moving faster than the inner area, and there are more sectors stored on the outer tracks.
